Down / Re: Down Club Hurling & Football
September 29, 2009, 08:04:25 PM
Firstly my congratulations to all the teams still involved in the championships and now for my gripe. I've been reading and following this site and this is my first time posting. Surely the county board must look into the fact that 3 of the largest clubs/towns (pick wise) arent contributing anything hence the poor standard of our senior county team. When we had a strong competitive teams in provincial and national comps we were backboned by the Newry,DPK and Carryduff teams. the two clubs with the smallest pick population wise are both competing in the senior final, Darragh and Ballymartin are by no means large parish's (Carrickmannon and Saintfield prob has 60% of lads who kick with the opposite foot anyhow 8)) Obviously Gealic football is strong and alive in the rural parish's. Lets diverve some of the money being syphoned off to promote hurling outside the ards into getting a GAA presence back into our major towns
